FOR YOUNG FOLKS.

lNCE Its first issue, in 1873, this maga-
zine has maintained, with undisputed
4 \ recognition, the position 1t took at the
~ beginning-that of being the most ex-
eellent juvenile publication ever printed.
The best known names in literature were on
its list of contributors from the start-Bry-
ant, Longfellow, Thomas Hughes, George
Macdonald, Bret Harte, Bayard Taylor, Fran
ces Hodgson Barnett, James r. Fields John
g. Whittier; indeed the list is SO long that

Kennan ON Siberia.

Except the Life of Lincoln and the War
Articles, no more important series has ever
been undertaken by THF CENTIJry than tbis
of Mr.. Kennan's. With the previous rrepa-
ration OF four years travel and study In Rus
sia and Siberia, the author undertook a Jour
ney OF 1900 miles for the special inyestiga-
tion here required. An introduction from
the Russian Minister of the Interior admitted
him TO the principal mines and prisons,
where he became acquainted with some SGD
State exiles,-Liberals, Nihiists, and others,
and the series viii be startling as well as
accurate revelation of the exile system. The
many illustrations bp the artist and photog-
rapher, Mr.. George A. Frost, who aceompa-
MED the author, will add greatly TO the value
of the articles

Another Gren, Bridge Enterprise.

The Illinois Central railroad has obtained
the consent of Congress to the building of
a bridge for its trains across the Ohio river
at Cairo. The trains are now transferred
on steam ferry boats, but when the bridge
is completed the road will have an unbrok-
en- line Of track from Chicago 10 New Or
leans The bridge will he over 1900 feet
long, there being two spans of j25 feet
each, seven spans of 400 feet each, and
three spans of 25O feet each The whole
bridge and its approaches will be over three
miles long. According to the act of Con
gress authorizing its construction, its low
est chord must be j3 feet above extreme
high water, and more than l05 feet above
low water. The work has already begun.
A special feature of the bridge is the fact
that the foundation must be placed in the
alluvium bottom of the Mississippi river,
which joins the Ohio at Cairo, There is no
rock ON which to rest them. Boring nearly
200 feet in depth fails TO give anything but
aluvial deposits of clay and sand conse-
quently the foundation must go to a great
depth and depend upon the bearing power
of the sand and the fractional resistance of
the sides Of the foundation 1t will be a
truss bridge, the 400-feet spans having par
allel chords and the jOO-feet spans having
slightly upper chords. The cost of
the structure will be So 900 900.

feet high run up perpendicularly until the

bered that this gorge, which contains both
the river and the railroad, is not as wide as
an ordinary carriage road. For miles on
miles shelf has been made for the rail
road down near the bed of the river, until
finally the road comes to narrow gorge
where mountain of solid. perpendicular
rock on each side disputes the passage Of
anything more than the narrow river which
evidently found its way here by long ages
Of constant wear. Here the ends Of heavy
iron trusses are embedded in the rock each
side the river and the railroad track is
swung out over the rushing stream for
about 300 feet This is the Royal Gorge.

why all this toll for triumphs Of an hour? .
2-Life's a short summer, man flower;
3 BY turns we catch the vital breath and die,
The cradle and the tomb, alas so nigh.
5-To be is better far than not 10 be,
g Though all mans life may seem a tragedy;
But light cares speak when mighty cares are
dumb,
s-The bottom is but shallow whence they come
gYour fate is but the common fate Of all;

II Nature to each allots his proper sphere,
IL Fortune makes folly her peculiar care;
13-Custom does often reason override
H-And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool.
15-Live well, how long short permit TO heaven;

11-Sin may be clasped 80 close we cannot see It's
face

% Riches have wings and grandeur is a dream.

A good story is told of former Dakota
legislator named Wilbur F. Steele. 1t
seems that Steele takes no stock in woman
suffrage, except when he is obliged to. On
one occasion woman suffrage bill was be-
fore the House and vote was called for.
When the clerk called Steele's name he
rose with the dignity of Demosthenes and
began "Mr. Speaker, l am sorry that
cannot support this BILL but" At that
moment a well-dressed woman bent over
the gallery rail and exclaimed, in loud
voice "W-i-l-b-u-r /" He glanced upward,
then turned and said 'Mr. Speaker, vote
ave. The woman was Steele's wife

When first came to Canada, | found
there were various opinions as to the meth
od of making the sound One man, who
read great deal but rarely went into the
woods, said that the sound was produced
by the birds voice; some of the hunters
told me that the bird struck its wings ON
log, and others declared that it struck
them together over its back.
did not give much heed TO the book
mans explanation, for all the woodmen
laughed at it. l soon learned TO discredit
also the idea that the bird thumped the log
with its wings because, whether it stood
on a stump or stone, a rotten log or solid
timber, the sound was always the same
Lastly did not believe that the wings
were struck together, because when pig
con or rooster strikes its wings together,
the sound is always a sharp crack. At
length, after watching the bird carefully, l
came to the conclusion that it drums by
beating the air only.
1t is not an easy matter to get sight of a
partridge when he is drumming, but | man
aged to do it by crawling on my hands and
knees toward the bird, lying still while he
was quiet, and only moving forward when
he renewed his noisy courtship, for it is to
WOO and win his mate that Sir Rutfed
Grouse INDUCES in these musical exercises.
In this way l contrived to come within
twenty feet without alarming him. Through
the alder thicket l could just see his shape
ly form strutting about like a turkey cock /;
then, for a moment, he stood upright, with
his feathers lying close Suddenly the
wings flashed, and at the same moment
heard the loud thump. Them for few
seconds he stood looking about as though
nothing had happened; but presently came
a second flash and thump, and others rapid
ly followed at lessening intervals, until at
last the serenade rolled away like the gal

of the dead man undertook to retaliate, and

to bring in every person suspected of any

information. Thirty three arrests were
made. The investigation resulted in the
selection of three victims, and sentence was
Immediately passed. Shortly after sunrise

Who would be yellow when he or she
can exhibit the hue of health on cheek
and brow through the aid of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bltters, an antagonist at
whose onset liver complaint takes
refuge in fight. Fur upon the tongue,
nausea, sick headache, pains under the
right ribs and shoulder blade, an IN
pleasantly odorous breath, are remedial
BILE with the benign Alternative, which
does not, like potent cathartic, drench
the intestines or, like the mercurial pre-

only the liver, but the stomach and
bowels are aroused, toned and regu-
lated by this fine family medicine,
which has won the confidence of the
respectable classes, not by startling as

sistency Of the claims made for it with
its performance in every instance when
